Early Life
Stella Adler was born in the Lower East Side of New York City.
She was the youngest daughterof Sara and Jacob P. Adler,the sister of Luther and Jay Adler, and half-sister of Charles Adlerand Celia Adler, star of the Yiddish Theater.
All five of her siblings were actors. The Adlers
comprised the Jewish American Adler acting dynasty, which had its start in the Yiddish Theater.
District and was a significant part of the vibrant ethnic theatrical scene that thrived in New York
from the late 19th century to the 1950s. Adler became the most famous and influential memberof her family. She began acting at the age of four as a part of the Independent Yiddish Art Company of her parents.
Career
Adler began her acting career at the age of four in the play Broken Hearts at the Grand Street
Theatre on the Lower East Side, as a part of her parents' Independent Yiddish Art Company.
She grew up acting alongside her parents, often playing roles of boys and girls. Her work
schedule allowed little time for schooling, but when possible, she studied at public schools and New York University. She made her London debut, at the age of 18, as Naomi in Elisa Ben Avia with her father's company, in which she appeared for a year before returning to New York. In London, she met her first husband, Englishman Horace Eliashcheff; their brief marriage, however ended in a divorce.
Adler was the only member of the Group Theatre to study with Konstantin Stanislavski. She was a prominent member of the Group Theatre, but differences with Lee Strasberg over Stanislavski's system (later developed by Strasberg into method acting) made her leave the group.
Personal life
Adler married three times, first to Horace Eliascheff, the father of her only child Ellen, then from 1943 to 1960 to director and critic Harold Clurman, one of the founders of the Group Theatre. She was finally married to physicist and novelist Mitchell A. Wilson, who died in 1973. From 1938 to 1946, she was sister-in-law to actress Sylvia Sidney. Sidney was married to her brother Luther at the time and provided Stella with a nephew. Even after Sidney and Luther divorced, she and Sylvia remained close friends.
